Rawlins, for the Author, 1681.⁂ Grew (1641-1712) is best known for his important contributions to plant morphology and anatomy. From about 1672, the Royal Society became the focal point of much of Grew's scientific activities and most of his works originated as papers read before the Society. By 1677 he had become one of the Society's secretaries and he was 'requested' to publish this description of the Society's museum - a description which not only lists, but describes in detail, with illustrations, the rarities collected by the Society. The second part, The Comparative Anatomy of Stomachs and Guts, was an important contribution to animal anatomy. The manuscript corrections are possibly in the hand of Richard Frewin (1681-1716, physician and professor, whose ink inscription dated 1707 is on the front free endpaper. Frewin assembled an impressive library of over 2000 volumes of science and medicine and left various scholarly trusts and an Oxford house (Frewin Hall). The correction on Xx4 inserts in an otherwise blank space before the name "Henshaw", the word "Thomas".

S[tansby], 1611.⁂ A superb, complete copy of this major travel guide. Coryate (?1577-1617) studied at Oxford without taking a degree and ended up at the court of James I, where he gained considerable popularity as a wit and buffoon. He used money inherited from his father to travel, setting off in 1608 and visiting some 45 cities in 7 countries in 5 months on foot, by cart, boat and horse. It is reckoned he covered almost 2,000 miles, over half of which was accomplished in one pair of shoes, mended only once and, on his return, hung up in the church at Odcombe in Somerset (his place of birth), where they remained for over a century. Despite his achievements, he found it difficult to get the account of his journies published and so appealed to all he knew to write commendatory verses about himself and the book. Among the more than 60 contributors of mock-heroic verse were Ben Jonson (acrostic on b4), John Donne, Inigo Jones, George Chapman and Michael Drayton. Provenance: George Steevens (1736-1800, commentator on Shakespeare, friend of Samuel Johnson, ink stamp on title verso); Dudley C. Marjoribanks (leather bookplate).
